Realism works from photographs I took along my life's journey. Realism painted in acrylic.

Perfect Imperfection (48x16x1.5 inches) Acrylic on Canvas 2016

There is more beauty the closer that you look. In behind the top layer painting, on another plane, you can peak & see there is a Ulysses Butterfly in front of a glorious orange sunset, which stands for change, freedom & new beginnings. This butterfly has spun a thin blue metallic thread (the same color as the larger line stretching horizontally across the galaxy, or our existence) as if to sew the planet back together to keep the beauty in it, that we, as human beings, are essentially undermining as we use up the Earth’s resources & bring global warming to our home.

Where There is Love - Diversity is Celebrated (48x16x1.5 inches) Acrylic on Canvas 2017

This piece was painted specifically for the Singapore American School International Fair celebrating the diversity of people coming together to honor each other. We are all painted in different colors, yet the paint & the brush is the same, we have our own individual wonderful traits, yet deep down, we are all the same. We only need to find love within ourselves & then everything else falls into place. Look closer, you will see the detail that inspires & motivates each of us, a hand, a heart, a lock, a tie, which color do you identify with?

Do you hold on?

Harmony (40x30x1.5 inches) Acrylic on Canvas 2016

There is tension between the way we live & the way we know we should. The yellow screams for your attention, you're drawn to the calm of the blue, the black threaded in between whispers secrets, make sure you're listening closely, you may hear the song that leads you back to blue. In the centre on the bottom third portion, there is a couple dancing, in that tiny moment, there is love that brings harmony to it all in totality.

Focus (24x24x1.5 inches) Acrylic on Canvas 2016

Grace & love is my focus. The cross glows in the dark as do the words "Grace" & "Love" written on the reflection of the dove flying away from the cross, to signify the Holy Spirit completing His work. The iris color can be customized if you organize to send me a close up picture of the eye color you want to appear in the painting.

The reflection off the lake is quite beautiful, captured at two different times during the day.

Pathway for Reflection (24x8x1.5 inches) Acrylic on Canvas 2016

Storm (40x30x1.5 inches) Acrylic on Canvas 2016

All Messed Up (2 of 16x12x1.5 inches) Acrylic on Canvas 2016

There is a rhyme for reason here, there is mess but there is a subtle sense of belonging. The colors chosen are meant to give a sense of peace but there is white noise involved to distract you from what is truly the calling of the painting.

We Need a Bigger Boat (24x8x1.5 inches) Acrylic on Canvas 2015

I grew up on an island, my Dad took me fishing one day, we ended up adrift close to a mud bank but when he tried to start the motor it wouldn't cut over & the waves were quite big. He pulled up the 40 horse Mariner and there was fishing line tangled all around it. When leaning over to untangle the motor my Dad fell in, leaving his boots in the mud. This is the scene I saw when waiting for my Dad to surface. I didn't understand the brevity of the situation, all I saw was the peace of the surrounding islands thinking all we needed was a bigger boat.

The land, the rocking of the boat and of course the break of dawn, the sunrise beginning to dance on the waves before me, yet the land abounds in darkness, the waters beneath still black.
